Disney movie daw
Aren: (chismis) No one who's had emotional leverage on him emotionally (see: his closest, closest friends) has ever told him about the not-listening thing.
Me: Oh my god. What is it about me that you've been holding back. Tell me now. Except if you mean to tell me I'm a whiny little bitch. I already know that. Do I make a weird face in pictures? Do you hate my clothes? Did you notice my club pinky toe?
Aren: I have nothing to tell you that you don't already know. And nothing to tell you that I can't bear for the rest of my life.

I want a boy best friend who will call me...
wideeyedskies: I don’t even want to point out all the wrong things about this, but since I’m on my period, I guess I’ll indulge myself. So basically you want someone who will encourage your ridiculous dependency and constant need of approval? And no, you don’t just want anyone to do it, you want a man. Because of course you want to keep within the realms of gender stereotypes. You’re a woman...

I'm done with my En12 paper!!!!!!
FOOTBALL GIF PARTY’S ON ME~~~~~~~ PS: My title in the end did not end up being “Si Papa Bear.” It’s actually The Korean Drama and the American Drama in the Philippine Context: A Study of Socio-Economic Accessibility and Cultural Proximity. Yes, sounding more clever than I actually am is one of the talents that I have in my meager arsenal.

4.5/10 pages for my En12 paper
That’s me except I’m holding a mug of coffee. Rock on, English 12. Fuck you. I think at the end of all this I’m going to end up titling my paper “Si Papa Bear.”

Too much feminism
Vicky: Huhuhu Alam mo bang may 7-page Lit paper akong ginagawa. IT'S SO FEMINIST I WANT TO HURL.
Me: Nothing's too feminist it'd make you want to hurl. I know. I read Jezebel everyday.

On making someone else lose her religion
The other day, one of my closest friends just told me she’s turned agnostic. She told me via Facebook Chat of all avenues of communication. It wasn’t even an announcement, just kind of a flippant mention as if we were just nibbling on scones over tea talking about how so-and-so is now dating so-and-so. That said, we went back to discussing tennis games and football transfer rumors as...

And now a meaningful excerpt from my Fil12 paper:
Kilala ang serya [Full House] sa kantang “Si Papa Bear” na may tono at mga galaw na pambata na talagang nakakatuwa panoorin lalo na kung kilanlin ang malaking pagkakaiba ng karaniwang kumplikadong dance moves ni Rain at ng simpleng galaw na kinakailangan ng kanta.

I feel like letting my long-overdue Fil paper stay long-overdue for a little while longer. And I realized January is about to end and this post is kind of long-overdue too, albeit with significantly smaller consequences. This is an update on my 50 Book Challenge progress. December 2010 The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown After Dark by Haruki Murakami Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami The Great...

The Political Compass Test →
Because I’m interested in these things, I thought I’d point you in the direction of the Political Compass Test. I mean, you must be procrastinating from something if you’re on Tumblr. A 6-page online quiz won’t hurt your “progress”. Photo reply your graph, I want to see! Also, read the description in the result page properly, yeah? Here is mine: Good...

This is a PMS-fueled entry
Why do people assume that I care about what they answer to questions they let strangers ask them in their Formspring accounts? Why do you have to sync your Formpsring with your Twitter? Why do you have to pretend-sync your Formspring with your Tumblr by actually making one entry for each question you’re asked on Formspring? Isn’t that what Tumblr Ask is for? Huh huh huh? Why do you...

albinogenitals: You’re sad because you’re sad. It’s psychic. It’s the age. It’s chemical. Go see a shrink or take a pill, or hug your sadness like an eyeless doll you need to sleep. Margaret Atwood It’s sad how you think everything on your dashboard about isolation is about you. :(

On my CityVille addiction
If I had a boyfriend, he could propose to me with CityVille City Cash and I would say yes immediately. It’s gotten that bad. It’s gotten so bad I’m using Logan Lerman, who I irrationally hate with a passion, to accentuate how weird I’m being right now.

A Display of Mackerel
They lie in parallel rows, on ice, head to tail, each a foot of luminosity barred with black bands, which divide the scales’ radiant sections like seams of lead in a Tiffany window. Iridescent, watery prismatics: think abalone, the wildly rainbowed mirror of a soapbubble sphere, think sun on gasoline. Splendor, and splendor, and not a one in any way distinguished from the other —nothing...

Fish Camp
In the Coleman’s glassy glare my brother’s switchblade unriddles backlash. A bullhead, the weight of a rat, flops in the dirt, dropped when its spine added a scar to the lines of my palm. Bullheads should utter some cry. Someone should have warned those city boys, fishing at night on the shores of a dump, how gills, drowning in air, gape like wounds that won’t heal; someone should have taught...

Deep shit musings for the day
Have you ever wondered why a certain type of girls* (you know what I’m talking about) gravitate towards the color pink? Is it a predestined DNA/brain thing that if a girl is more inclined to be more stereotypically “girly,” pink is supposed to be her favorite color? Is her attachment to the color an influence of ~the media~ because it propagates this image of fashion-savvy,...
